Summer Storm II

Gray gathering clouds
wind spins the leaves in the air
Changing their color.

Summer Storm I

Gray gathering clouds
Stillness settles silently
Squirrels seek cover.

John the Baptist II

The disc squeal and scream
A lone voice shouting out
In the wilderness.

John the Baptist I

Discs drag the dirt
slit silt and shove stones a side
Make way for the plow.

Summer I

Summer morning dew
In late June, is gone to soon.
Grass is soon crunchy.

Memorial Day

Carved white stones rest
Where poppies wave scarlet hats
Above crowds of grass.

Memorial Day

Carved white stones rest
Where poppies wave scarlet hats
Above fields of grass.

Spring Skies

Spring skies, drift over
Shadowless landscapes observe
Not the burst of green leaves.

Buttoned Down II

The button down man
Recoiled from the pierced priest
Like a gun.

Buttoned Down I

The buttoned down man
Recoils from the pierced priest
Like a snake.

The Crab

Flowering crab tree
White with blossoms this morning
Green by afternoon.

Spring III

Hungry to work
Impatient to slice earths crust
Seeking fertile soil.

Spring II

Implements which
Wintered in the woods must
Now forage in the fields

May 18, 2009

Spring I

Spring means muddy fields
Sloppy shoes and dirty
Ankles - Plow and plant.

Fresh Start

A robin is small
His actions hardly noticed
The fresh new rose blooms.

Rain

Today it rains
Smell the air, rain-rinsed fresh -
Peonies bud.

Twilight Sleep II

The alarm rings not
No blankets rustle - just one
Finger down the back.

Twilight Sleep I

In the twilight sleep
A hand encounters cold sheets
Groping what's not there.
